What are you talking about?

Maybe you should state them, then. I'll state the areas that you
should work on:
1. Description.
2. RTFM.
3. Backup before you install an operating system.
4. Spelling.
5. Punctuation.
6. Politeness.
7. Error recovery. I'll wager that the most stupid thing you did was
to reformat your disk.
FreeBSD installs very easily for just about everybody. Occasionally
they run into hardware compatibility problems. Occasionally, like
you, they screw up. Unlike you, they very seldom blame us for their
own mistakes.
If you approached the installation with the same care with which you
prepared this message, I'm not surprised you screwed up.
